The New Trick to Reducing Stress Without Losing Focus

Burnout and stress can make it hard to focus and keep up at work. That pressure builds, creating a cycle that’s tough to break.

If you’re looking for a way to ease workplace stress without feeling drowsy, try CBDistillery’s Daytime Calm gummies.

Each serving contains 50mg of CBG, a non-intoxicating compound derived from hemp, formulated to support calm and daytime focus.

In a 2022 CBDistillery study, CBG was associated with:

Increased focus and mental clarity
Reduced mild, temporary anxiety

Like all CBDistillery products, Daytime Calm gummies are third-party lab tested for quality and consistency.

🌧️ Rain at Last - and Good News for Fair Week

After weeks of baking, the rain we've been waiting on is here. Showers are likely today (43% chance, high of 79), and Friday brings a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lawns, gardens, and anyone with a water bill will take it.

Now the part fairgoers care about: the system clears out well before the fair opens. Saturday turns mostly sunny at 92, and Sunday through Monday look sunny and hot near 97. As it stands, opening day Tuesday should be dry - just plan on a warm one under the big top.
